I'm from a small town up north, moved to the sea coast last year.

Music: The Beatles, Billy Holliday, Led Zepplin,  Queen, Fiona Apple, Michael Kiwanuka, Bill Withers, Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Lauryn Hill

I love movie's; Guy Richie, Cohen bros, Tarentino, scary, war periods, independent, sci-fi, etc...a movie marathon on a rainy day is my idea of a perfect day. I'm into researching genealogy and town histories (moved down here and found out I have many colonial ancestors from here. EXCITING!), I love old houses and ruins, have been known to do a B & E for explorations sake ;-). Would love to go to Europe some day.

I love to cook and bake, I love animals, I'm girly but low maintenance.

I don't do drugs and won't stand for them but don't mind pot at all, I just won't be doing it with you. Get me a margarita and I'll be happy.

I'm easy to get along with, may seem like an extrovert but am really an introvert, I love people but value peace and quiet. Anything I'm doing at the time I am totally into, I'd rather be positive and have fun. I joke around alot, try not to take things too seriously. People who know me are usually surprised when I get more comfortable with them and they see my more ernest side.

I am not on here for a pen pal I don't particularly like texting all the time, can give you a false sense of intimacy.

I like guys who are stocky, inquisitive, love all animals (even little dogs), optimistic, sarcastic and intelligence is always sexy.

I have been skeptical & non religious most of my life. And since moving in with my sister we have had to work through topics we are both passionate & honestly, defensive about. We have worked through a lot & are becoming more respectful of each other's views.

My sister really loves inspirational speakers like Tony Robbins and she's recently been learning about NLP (neuro linguistic programming). She has always been interested in psychology and has decided she wants to be a NLP counselor so is planning on taking a computer course to become certified in it. The class is around $1300 I think. She is 35 with 3 teenagers & has had a hard road but is now doing great, she works for herself,makes decent money & owns a house. I moved in with her 6 months ago though because she broke up with the man she bought the house with (was a good thing, he is a horrible person) so needs help financially & because I left my boyfriend & am not financially stable enough to live on my own yet. I want her to follow her dreams & I can see that she is really excited about this, and I am excited for her that she is taking a step that could improve her life & she could finally be happy & feel accomplished in her career. Please look up NLP for example in Wikipedia if you are not sure what it is. Am I being selfish in wanting to tell her what I think about it or is it wrong nit to warn her?

I have been dating my boyfriend 5like years, he is turning 47 next week. He likes alot of his coworkers and i was thinking he'd like it if they all signed a card for him. What do you think?

Ok so I'm 30 & my sister is 32, we have been really close most of our lives. She started dating this guy "Bill" about 2 years ago and right off I knew I didn't like him, he is a belligerent alcoholic who is very loud and self absorbed, I can hardly talk to my sister or her kids when he is around because he has to have all of the attention on him. When he gets drunk he gets defensive and combative, and touchy feely. The last time I went to visit her we went to dinner for her her birthday with my mom, Bill, & my sis's 3 kids (10, 11 & 12). He started to drink of course ( he actually started tight when he got home from work 2 hours before we went to dinner) we were not near each other during the dinner but talked so loud and constant that the only one I could really talk to was my 10 yr old nephew who was right next to me. I try to tune him out a lot because if I didn't than I wouldn't be able to talk to my family at all who I don't see a lot of because my sister lives 3 1/2 hours away and because I don't enjoy his conversation about how great he is & people I don't even know. That night my sis's kids and mom went to bed, and I was going to be sleeping in the living room and my sis was going to stay at his place close by because her apartment is very small, he got drinker and was harassing my sister while she was trying to get the kids to bed, he came in the biys room & was saying things like "you guys have to help your mom out, do the dishes when she asks you too". She told him that she doesn't even do the dishes because the kids take turns doing them ever day. He just kept going on and on. Finally she got him outside and he smoked a cigarette and he started to ask me questions about my boyfriend ( who is a very good guy, divorced father of 3 who is not a drinker at all ) and asked his name ( because of course he can't remember anything) and then kept repeating his name in a sassy tone. I knew he was drunk and that he'd be leaving soon so I just truer to ignore him and talk to my sister ( who didn't try to defend me in any way) then I went inside to the bathroom and I came out and he was saying to my sister "she's just a *****..." & then saw me & said " hi ( my name), how are you doing?" real *bleeping* sassy like. Finally they left so I could get some sleep. My sister didn't say anything about it the next day, didn't apologize to me for his behavior or anything. I haven't talked to her on the phone since and am upset and disappointed with her.

She doesn't think she deserves a good man ( has never had one) and she lets him treat her and the kids like crap. Example: she lost 40 pounds because he wasn't having sex with her and he said her body bothered him, she had 3 kids and has some wrinkles in her tummy. She weighs 120 pounds! If you really love someone aren't you supposed to accept?

Anyways I know I can't do it say anything to change her mind about him, I don't even talk about him because its frustrating. Has anyone else been in this situation with someone they love very much and don't want to lose because of someone difficult in tge loved ones life?

So this is my story, I have always felt different, always been sensitive to criticism, hate loud noises, get anxiety around a lot of new people (most of the time) knew that I felt things more than other people wether sadness joy excitement fear etc. I always thought there was something wrong with me and that it was my fault, i was just too sensitive for the world. Then I found out about the personality type called "highly sensitive people" and the way it's described and the comments on the web from other HSP's have made me realize I am not weird, I'm not TOO SENSITIVE, I am normal! I feel like a new person, I feel like I have worth, true self esteem for the first time in my life!

Now I need to figure out how to tell those very close to me because I am a true skeptic and can understand others thinking this is bologna. My family has always seemed to not want to deal with me and always hated how sensitive I was ( and still am but I am now ok with it) and I still feel like the black sheep. How can I explain it to them, I need the right words because I don't want to blame them for anything or tell them " this is how you should treat me" I just want them to know and accept me. ( maybe they never will but understand fully but I love them so much and just want them to love me no matter what) i am 30 by the way and live close to most of my family

I have a Verizon LG Ally phone and a couple of months ago I found the original Mario Bros games 1Y3 in the Google Marketplace but I tryed to find it for my boyfriend who has a Droid and all I can find are Super Mario Cheats. I looked for it on my phones Google Play Market and can't even find it there, though I still have it installed and play it on my phone. It is an asian game I know because the princess speaks in charecters. Has anyone heard of a game only being allowed to be downloaded for a short time like this, or does anyone have this game? I might be getting an iphone soon, but am hesitant because I love this game so much and am not sure I can find it again. It's a free game by the way. Thanks for you help!

My grandmother is in the hospital for probably 3 weeks and I am worried that she is going to be very bored and depressed. She is 89 and used to being busy in her vegetable garden, mowing and cleaning. She likes to play cards too. She is a little confused since she had a minor heart attack but most of the time she is very sharp. I won't be able to visit her for very long most days and I have gotten her magazines and newspapers and she has a tv in her room of course, but is there anything else I can bring her to fill the time?

I am HORRIBLE at writing and am filling out a job application please help me!

The application says:

'Summarize special job-related skills and qualifications acquired from employment or other experience'

I want to include things like;

I have 12 years experience providing accurate and professional customer service.

I have a strong ability to multi task under pressure as I work alone at least 50 percent of the time.

Years of doing (i don't want to write doing?) end of shift paper work has accustomed me to finding problems and correcting them easily.

I have moderate typing skills and general computer knowledge. I am a fast learner and very flexible

Side note: I HATE JOB APPLICATIONS!

Thanks for any help you can give me, I'm not usually prone to anxiety but these things stress me out to the point that my face tightens and I can't think straight anymore

A teenager or older? My parents divorced when I was 5 and I never thought it really bothered me, but now 25 years later I see things differently and remember all the things that came after like my new step families and how awful they still are, how my mom choose our step father over us and finally realizing how wrong she was sometimes. I always thought that I was bad, he never had anything nice to say about anyone. Realizing " wow! HE was the jerk!

And how do you show it?

Me and my boyfriend of 4 years were watching "Desperado" lastnight and he (asumingly jokingly) said (referring to Salma Hayek)'could you just grow your hair out long and dye it that color and talk with an accent.' I was hurt because it was just an accumulation of the way he seems to feel about me. We have been together for 4 years and not once has he said he liked my hair or eyes or much of anything about me. Yet he will say nice things about people we know and women on tv. I am loving to him, tell him I love his butt or his eyes, but not too much that it is annoying. He doesn't give out comments easily and won't say something he doesn't mean and so I assume if he doesn't say he likes anything about me than it's true, he doesn't like my hair or eyes or much of anything as long as he can have sex and pretend I am someone else! I am not hideous! I get compliments all the time from men, I just wish it was him.

And what is your favorite poem?

I am looking for a good mini sewing machine for my sister, she is short and needs to hem her pants a lot, but she usually just cuts them and they end up looking awful. I can't afford an expensive one, no more than $25 or possibly $30. A lot of people say they are awful and they break easily but there must be a good kind out there! If you know of one that works for you please let me know, also whether it works good on denim. Thanks!

My friend has to get a gift for a 12 year old girl that she doesn't know. This girls parents do not have alot of money so she probably wouldn't need accesories for a nintendo dsi, ipod or anything like that, and jewelry and makeup are nice ideas but some parents still don't allow young childeren to wear make up, any ideas girls?

Someone told me that footage of the theme park Santa's Village (Jefferson, New Hampshire) was in a Beatles movie. I don't really believe this since I have lived here all of my life and never heard of it. If you can, prove me wrong.

Can anyone who has worked at a chinese restaurant tell me how to make certain dishes like general tso's or gao's, lo mien stir frys, breaded fried chicken and shrimp?

I have not written in a n couple of years, I used to write all the time, mostly crap. After I read so much great poetry it's hard for me to re write my own I only think of how others would have put it better so it could get very depressing. Oh well, that's just me, I know lots of other people think of it as artistic and emotional outlet but when I try to write down what I'm really feeling it just gets embarrassing.

Solitude is hard to bear

Company can make you crave silence

Boredom is where you sit and stare

Activity can wear your patience

Love will make you want to join the nunnery

Celibacy causes you to be hostile

Rejection can drive you to lunacy

But writing poetry can make you suicidal
